When guitarists hear the phrase “entry level”, it more often than not gives one cause to run away…far away from any acoustic guitar boasting such a description. However, throw the name “Taylor Guitars” in front of it and it becomes an entirely different story.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Taylor 110e is its handsome good looks and rich, appealing appointments. It’s a full size acoustic/electric dreadnought design featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides. Sitka is a dense, straight-grained wood that features the highest strength and elasticity ratio. It provides top quality for soundboards and a brighter tone. It also sports an Ebony fretboard and bridge and a Tusq nut and saddle. The fretboard inlay is adorned with Pearloid Dots, further enhancing this great acoustic guitar’s arresting good looks. A durable varnish finish that really brings out the guitar’s beautiful natural finish protects the Taylor 110e, thus giving it a great look and smooth feel.

Strum the Taylor 110e and it fills the room with a warm, sweet tone…not too high-endy and not too bassy…just quality, even, full-range tone that is decidedly the sound of a Taylor. It has a quality build and feel as it’s made to last a lifetime.

The 110e's rich and versatile voice can now be amplified with the Taylor ES-T Under-Saddle Transducer pickup. The ES-T is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. It features an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full ES. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.

*Disclaimer: Beware of the Taylor 110e acoustic-electric guitar; for once you pick it up, you wont want to put it down. Comes with a custom-fitted gig bag.
